Default 315" (17s) Tires on a Fox?

Stock 8.8" rear end length, with SN95 disc brake conversion; will they fit? I'm not worried about rolling the outer fender, willing to do that, and/or trim the inside of that portion of the fender. More concerned with front-to-back, and the inside portion of the body area of the wheel well.

Thanks,
-Josh

Yes, they will fit... with a lot of massaging. Make sure you have a BFH.

What size wheel? You need at least a 10.5" to an 11" wheel and a very low profile like 35....

Also, some radials are wider than others. Nitto makes some "skinny" 315's.

as stated above... every tire company uses a different tape measure!

Nittos are the "skinnys"
BFG is a lil wider.
And mickey T's are the widest....

go figure!

What about something like "Sumitomo" lol?! And I guess I should have mentioned, the wheels are 10.5" wide.

This post is a year and a half old, so it may not be there any more.
